Lightroom Tip - Use the Lightsout Mode

The Lightsout mode in Lightroom is a very easy to use and powerful way to view and isolate images. On any screen in any of the modules you can press the "L" key. The display will dim.

First Press of the "L" key - Interface 50% dimmed

The amount of the initial dimming can be set in the Preferences/Interface menu. I like to use 50% for the initial dimming as I can still see and use the other interface tools.

Second Press of the "L" key - Interface fully dimmed

Press "L" again and it will dim right down and just leave the selected image.

Hope you find this useful.
